Yes, it would be useful to think about an ADT `article number' (though
number is the wrong word, didn't want to use id lest there be
confusion with message id). What operations does one need on that
ADT? Gnus could then be changed to use that ADT and then the ADT
could evolve to accomodate new backends.
It seems that backends like nnslashdot and nnweb use klugy workarounds
for the existing article number requirement.
